THE 30-DAY CHALLENGE by James Ray

One gentleman I consider to be a great mentor (although I have never
met him) is Wallace D. Wattles. Wattles wrote a trilogy of books in
the late 1800s entitled The Science of Getting Richs, The Science of
Well-Being, and The Science of Becoming Excellent. They are ALL
outstanding!

If you have read my book The Science of Success, it is probably
evident by the title that Wattles has had a strong influence on my
thinking.

I have a laminated quote from Wattles that has been sitting on my
desk for AT LEAST 2 years. This week I will give you the quote, along
with a 30-day challenge.

If you accept the challenge, it must be done first thing in the
morning before you start your day. Pick a goal and do EXACTLY what
the quote says. Then take action and EXPECT MAGIC to happen in your
life.

Here's the complete challenge:

1. Pick a goal that you want, and truly believe, you can achieve in
the next 30 days. Make it specific and clear. Create a "spiritual
prototype"/picture of this goal in your mind. Remember, you must be
IN the picture -- looking through your own eyes.

2. Commit to visualizing your goal first thing in the morning and
last thing at night every single day for the next 30 days.

3. As a part of your visualization process (either before or after)
read the Wattles quote OUT LOUD every single day for the next thirty
days.

4. It must be read FIRST THING in the morning before you begin your
day (if you want to read it at night as well -- more power to you).

5. This must be read with PASSION. In other words, on a scale of 1-10
you have to be at least at a 20!

6. Follow the instructions of the quote.

Are you ready? Are you committed? Do you have the spiritual prototype
of your 30-day goal? Here's Wattles':

"There is a thinking substance from which all things are made, and
which in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the
interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the
thought.

I can form things in my thought, and by impressing my thoughts upon
formless substance, can cause the thing I think about to be created.

In order to do this, I must pass from the competitive to the creative
mind. I must form a clear mental picture of the things I want. And, I
must hold this picture in my thoughts with the fixed purpose to get
what I want, and the unwavering faith that I will get what I want --
closing my mind to all that may tend to shake my purpose, dim my
vision, or quench my faith.

I am ready to receive what I want when it comes, and I AM ACTING NOW
upon the people and things in my present environment."

Have your best week ever! I look forward to your results,
James
